Doug Casey’s Crystal Ball has become an annual tradition here at the Expat Money Show…and for good reason. A best-selling author, founder of International Man, and one of the world’s most well-known international investors and libertarian philosophers, Doug has also become a close friend and mentor of mine over the years.

In today’s episode, we dig into Doug’s insights into the geopolitical and economic trends that will define the year ahead. We also explore his outlook on gold, silver, energy, and global markets, along with a breakdown of where freedom-minded individuals should seek better opportunities abroad. If you want a grounded, no-nonsense roadmap for navigating what’s coming, this is the one conversation you can’t afford to miss.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE

• Listen in as Doug breaks down why traditional university paths are failing, and how young people can build real-world competence instead of debt and useless credentials
• Hear Doug evaluate Argentina’s President Javier Milei, and what 2026 may look like for the region’s most volatile economy
• Learn why Europe is spiralling into a high-tax, anti-freedom “welfare stew,” and why Doug believes it is no longer viable for anyone’s Plan-B
• Find out why Doug sees the Southern Cone—Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay—as the strongest long-term refuge for freedom-minded individuals amid geopolitical chaos

With gold reaching new highs nearly every day, more people are looking for ways to protect what they’ve built. But real security goes beyond just holding metals; it means having a complete offshore strategy that keeps your assets safe, private, and under your control.

In today’s episode, I share a recent presentation I gave for my friends at SWP on building a full “Plan-B Fortress” framework. We cover second residencies, alternative citizenships, offshore banking, international investments, and legal tax optimization; I break down the practical tools to help you stay mobile, secure, and financially independent, no matter what political or economic chaos unfolds in the world.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in as I break down how to build a complete offshore Plan-B strategy that protects your assets and privacy
• Tune in to hear strategies for storing precious metals safely outside the banking system and in your own name
• Find out how to use international structures like LLCs, trusts, and foundations to protect and pass on your hard-earned wealth

Owning precious metals offshore is one of the cornerstones of any fully formed Plan-B. With governments constantly inflating currencies and manipulating markets, owning history’s most reliable form of currency is a no-brainer. But keeping metals buried in your backyard or even in a local bank vault carries enormous risks. This is where the necessity of offshore vaults comes into play. 

In today’s episode, I am joined by Jeremey Varlow, who oversees Business Development & SWP Capital for Strategic Wealth Preservation (SWP) in the Cayman Islands. Jeremy shares the story of how he found himself moving to the Cayman Islands from Vancouver, what life is like in Cayman for residents and investors alike, and what makes Cayman such an ideal offshore jurisdiction. 

IN TODAY’S EPISODE

• Tune in as Jeremy shares the unique set of circumstances that led him from Canada to the Cayman Islands
• Listen in to hear about Jeremy’s pathway to achieving Permanent Residency in Cayman, and what the eventual path to citizenship looks like
• Learn what makes Cayman the premier offshore jurisdiction in the Caribbean
• Find out how you can use offshore gold holdings for your financing by taking loans backed by your own gold. Amazing!

For the freedom-minded, there’s plenty of doom and gloom where we look for it—wars, technocratic control systems, and economic collapse. But while most people stay stuck in fear or outrage, others are taking action. They’re securing second residencies, moving capital out of reach, and planting flags in places where freedom still has a fighting chance.

In today’s episode, I joined Hrvoje Moric on his program Geopolitics & Empire to discuss what I’m seeing on the ground: which countries are best for freedom-minded expats, how I separate fantasy from reality in the offshore space, and why I believe the path to sovereignty lies in pragmatic action—not black-pilled defeatism.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH HRVOJE MORIĆ

• Listen in as I walk Hrvoje through my origin story—from being labelled with a learning disability to building a life of international freedom.
• Tune in as Hrvoje, and I discuss the repackaged push for a North American Union and why more centralization is the opposite of what the world needs.
• Discover why Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay top my list of countries best set up for expats. 
• Find out how I’ve helped clients stay grounded and realistic about expat life—without buying into the fear porn or the sunshine-and-rainbows fantasies. 
• Hear my response to critics who overgeneralize Latin America—and why sweeping narratives miss the real, nuanced opportunities on the ground.
• Unpack how bureaucracies in many third-world countries’ inefficiency act as a feature, not a bug, when attempting to implement technocratic controls. 
• Learn why I favour tangible assets, like international real estate and precious metals, over manipulated stock markets. 
• By the end of this episode, it will be clear why I reject black-pilled defeatism and instead focus on practical, pragmatic strategies to preserve liberty and wealth.

There’s a freedom revolution quietly unfolding—and it’s not coming through politics. More and more people are taking matters into their own hands—setting up offshore structures, getting second residencies, diversifying their assets, and ensuring they’re not boxed in by failing systems.

I am thrilled to welcome back Dr. Ron Paul. Dr. Paul is a former U.S. Congressman, ran for President three times, and is an accomplished author and speaker. 

Dr. Paul always has valuable insights to share from his perspective, both as an Austrian economist and a former U.S. politician and with everything going on in the world, I wanted to invite him back to get his perspective on the trends going into 2024, including the march toward a possible World War 3.

CONCLUSION

As longtime listeners know, I have been a longtime admirer of Dr. Ron Paul and his commitment to spreading the ideas of liberty. But what I also love about him is his ability to see beyond the theoretical and apply the ideas of Austrian economics and human action to the current real-world scenarios we see playing out. 

While we can’t predict the specifics, the trends are clear, and the doors to many countries will likely be closing, especially if a world war scenario plays out. This is why I always encourage everyone to act now when it comes to crafting your Plan B scenario. 

I hope you enjoyed hearing Dr. Paul’s perspective as much as I always do. I’ll see you next Wednesday!

• Listen to Peter’s take on the most recent trends in the price of gold and how it’s affected by inflation and government deficit spending.
• Hear Peter’s early 2024 election predictions and what it will mean for the U.S. and global economy.
• Find out why Peter fears what I have been saying all along – that when the crisis hits, the government will make it very difficult for Americans to escape. This is why I always emphasize acting now! 
• Listen to Peter detail why failing prices, aka deflation, can lead to companies making more money, contrary to the popular opinion of many ‘mainstream’ economists. 
• If you think the headlines showing 20% inflation looks bad, wait until you hear Peter’s breakdown of what sort of inflation we’ve really experienced in the last few years.
• Find out why Peter believes the banks are currently in worse shape than they were during the 2008 crisis.
• Will the Federal Reserve continue to attempt to fight inflation or just let the banks fail? Hear Peter break down this no-win situation. 
• Hear Peter’s thoughts on why he didn’t get any mention in the film The Big Short for predicting the 2008 crisis. I had never heard him talk about this before!
• Find out Peter’s thoughts on some important topics like CBDCs, and a potential gold-backed BRICS currency. 
• Lastly, you won’t want to miss Peter’s predictions on what’s to come in 2024 – and how you can best prepare.

CONCLUSION

It was so great to finally speak to Peter Schiff and have him as a speaker at the Expat Money Summit. I have been following his work for years, and I’m so glad I was able to share this important discussion with everyone who attended the Summit and now with you all here today if you missed it then. 

Peter’s message echoes what I have been saying for years – the time to act to protect your wealth from the financial crisis that is unfolding is yesterday. Whether it’s getting your money into offshore investments or starting the process of acquiring a second passport, it’s essential to stop waiting around and take action. Those who do so will certainly be in a better position in the years ahead than those who sit around doom-scrolling all day. 

Until next time, I’ll see you all back here next Wednesday!
